Atlanta Contemporary

Rejoice, Resist, Rest: Images of Black Liberation from the Johnson Publishing Company Archive closes May 17. 

This exhibition was made by students from the Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective and Spelman Photography Program, directed by curators Nydia Blas, M.F.A., and Chad Dawkins, Ph.D. Working in response to the Johnson Publishing Company Archive, photographs and ephemera documenting 20th century Black American life, they made new artworks, photographs, texts, and zines that put the past and the present in direct conversation. 

Come see what that dialogue looks like. Admission is always free.
